Using mar21 commercial trunk build, win98 and NT 4.0
Haven't yet seen on other platforms
Haven't yet tried any POP accounts for same thing
Both Ninoschka and I've seen problems with our IMAP folders/subfolders hierarchy
with today's build. Logging this as a placeholder until we get some exact
steps/results, but it seems we have a general idea of how to get into the situation.
I've noticed this doesn't happen each and every time, but both Ninoschka and
I've been able to create weirdness in the parent/child folder displays a few
times now. It involves switching selection amongst subfolder, parent, INBOX and
back, exiting and relaunching.
Scenario #1:
1. Login to IMAP account which has lots of folders, many with subfolders.
2. Select the INBOX, note the thread pane loads okay.
3. Go to a subfolder hierarchy in the same sever, select a child/subfolder. Let
its thread pane load.
4. Select the parent folder, let its thread pane load.
Note: sometimes at this step the parent folder's thread pane never refreshes,
continues to show child's thread pane contents.
5. Collapse the subfolder hierarchy (still selected on parent).
6. Exit Netscape, launch again and note the subfolder display. We have seen a
few results so far:
a. parent subfolder displays name of child folder
b. all subfolders have become top level folders, i.e. there are no twisties
in either collapsed or expanded state to indicate a subhierarchy.
c. child folder shows path in name, i.e. Junk/subfolder
When folder displays are messed up, removing msf files then launching does
appear to correct the folder pane display.

No, not starting offline.
We both have been using newly migrated or new profiles; I've done a mozregistry,
etc. blow-away to recreate my mozilla users entirely. We've got Esther trying
to get in the state, but she hasn't yet. She is using an older profile, not
recently migrated or new.

Yes. It still happens for me using win98 and mar28 commercial trunk build. I've
removed mozregistry and the mozilla dir from Applications Data today and
remigrated the profiles. Previous to remigrating, I went into 4.7 and made sure
I could access the folders (parent&child folders). Exited and remigrated, logged
in, then was easily able to recreated the disjointed hierarchy symptom.
